The attack involved over 450 targets across Ukraine, including the use of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as numerous UAVs. "Today, we faced a record number of enemy targets in the sky," Ihnat stated in a short video address. Ukrainian air defenses engaged, successfully intercepting a large portion of the incoming projectiles. The attack targeted various regions, with Ihnat specifically mentioning the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions as entry points for many of the incoming weapons. While precise numbers were still being compiled, Ihnat indicated a substantial number of missiles and UAVs were destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
